Perhaps it’s time for someone like you - with obvious experience of calm diplomacy and negotiation skills - to step up IRA?

It is a bit silly though. Sure it's not the club that have decided as they're losing revenue.

It's not the club, it's as stating the SAG and police advice. Which is why it is weird if they are not happy to give the reasoning the SAG have given them

I do feel like there is some head in the sands attitudes with our supporters .

Let's look at what could have caused this

Coventry fans persistently fighting with away fans walking past the away end leading to the alcatraz like fences all around the away end .
Also lead to away coaches being moved from car park C

2 x coventry fans attacked away supporters at the top of the away stand in the last few seasons ( where else have you seen that ??

Multiple instances of items being thrown into the away end .

Well over 10 supporters invading the pitch over the last couple seasons alone

Coventry have a very large section of troublemakers , and we are paying the price for it through SAG .

That's the reality !!! It's hardly a shock to me anyway

I'm not trying to justify it, just making my best guess as to why SAG are effectively insisting on segregating City fans from other City fans.
I agree with you, it's silly and unnecessary.

The majority had 200+ points which means they are likely to have been to away matches.

The biggest thing is the stand behind the goal is over 18s only. Not like it will be a family zone behind the goal.

Even, even, even if a few kids managed to get near the Middlesbrough fans, there's still and ENTIRE block of segregation!

I have posted pictures of the segregation at games where there are much more trouble than in CV6 including one that has seen running battles all over M'Cr city centre and one where fans have killed each other. Guess what, there's not blocks between the fans and none have to separate home fans from home fans.

No, just don't go "ok" when the fob you off and then chase up answers to your questions.

If you want to be a representative of a group of fans then do it.

Recently you seem to have been trying really hard no to upset the club even if that is what is required to represent people.

From season tickets to ticket sales you have been a bit of prick to people who are critical of the club.

I love this club , have travelled everywhere with them over the last few years . Our fans are fucking yampy david .. you couldn't have a row of stewards separating coventry and Hull fans at the rocoh let alone blues and boro .

Of all the stadiums I've travelled too on numerous occasions , the CBS I've seen the worst trouble at On many many occasions in and outside the ground .. our fans love a bit of trouble and the safety teams know this

Yet we're told that the CBS is one of the safest grounds in the country

Coventry City is officially one of the safest clubs to watch football at

So you can have a row of stewards between celtic and rangers fans? Or United and Leeds fans? Or Liverpool and United fans but not Cov fans and boro?

I am sorry but at the moment he seems to want to stay mates with people at the club and that isn't good.

You can reply with "I'm sorry but I'm not really sure that will be acceptable to the supporters I represent" from time to time

so there's more potential for trouble at the CBS than the Old Firm?

Also what does in ground segregation have to do with the bricking of a coach outside the ground?

‘Very large number’ is certainly pushing it, whatever.
How many bans, arrests, charges have there been in the last 5 seasons say?
If the answer is next to zero then the core problem isn’t being addressed is it?
Spend a few bob on improved CCTV and get someone who knows what they are doing to look at it. Then take action if there is evidence of violence.
To not address the core problem for years on end and just put enormous amounts of segregation in is stupid.
